I began a public design experiment starting with a simple quilt (three pieces of fabric) and machine quilting in one color of thread. Once that first quilt was done, I saw one area that I wanted to change so I pieced another simple quilt and quilted it again. Then I saw another area that I wanted to change... I loved every minute of this project and learned so much about the evolution of design.

This lecture chronicles the progression of small changes that ended with a spectacular result!

Workshops

All workshops are 6 hours long and limited to 25 students.

You Can Machine Quilt: Home Machine Quilting

Using a few easy shapes, students will learn a variety of free-motion quilting patterns and gain confidence to create their own. These designs can then be mixed in infinite ways to add stunning texture to your quilts.

Students must have a walking foot and a free-motion/darning foot for their machine and know how to use them. Debby will not be able to address individual machine questions during class.

Jack's Star

Catch Debby's passion for fat-eighth Cutie Quilts when you learn to piece Jack's Star. Debby will show her techniques for accurately piecing half-square triangles and how to use directional prints.
